Dolphins add veteran tight end
The Miami Dolphins signed veteran tight end DWAYNE ALLEN over the weekend. While Allen does have 20 career touchdowns, his greatest strength is blocking. The Dolphins also have second-year tight end MIKE GESICKI on the roster, but he is coming off a disappointing rookie season.

Allen ready if Gronk can’t play
New England tight end ROB GRONKOWSKI did not participate in the Patriots walk-through practice on Tuesday as he continues to be considered day-to-day with an ankle injury. While the injury is… More not believed to be serious, the short week could cause problems for Gronk.
